US Patent 11752356 Systems for controlling power to differently loaded antenna arrays

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an antenna system is described. The antenna system includes an array of antennas. Each antenna emits electromagnetic waves and is presented with a load that is different from other antennas in the array. The antenna system also includes a control system. The control system includes a single transmitter to sequentially drive antenna sets, a switching device to select, for each activation period in an activation sequence, an antenna set to be driven, and a controller. The controller determines an actual power output of each antenna and generates an adjusted control signal for the single transmitter such that the output of each antenna is controlled to match a target power for that antenna, regardless of a load for the antenna.
